Explorz Posted June 13, 2018 Share Posted June 13, 2018 (edited) I currently have a 5.1 system and am looking at adding a pair of Klipsch RP-140SA atmos enabled elevation speakers to the top of my two front bookshelf speakers. What I'm unsure of is if they will bounce effectively off of my somewhat vaulted ceiling. I'm especially wondering if the sound will make it from the speakers past the plaster beam and fan and down to the listening position on the couch. Or will the ceiling beam effectively block the bounced sound away from the couch? It feels like the cross beam is exactly where the angled beam of sound would be hitting the ceiling. I'm uploading 2 photos of the room. The speakers are on either side of the TV. In one photo 1 speaker has a blue potted plant on it an the other has a small lamp on it on the right side of the photo. In the other photo the TV with a speaker on either side is to the left of the big windows. Any thoughts about if upfiring speakers will get the job done in this room? I have a Denon AVR S930H Receiver that I can run the Audessey speaker setup program on. Edited June 18, 2018 by Explorz Typo Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sprinter1104 Posted June 15, 2018 Share Posted June 15, 2018 That's a beautiful room. My experience was that the 140's just couldn't get the job done in my application so I returned them. My ceilings aren't vaulted but they are 11 foot high in a room that is 13,000 cubic feet. It was big ask and I wasn't surprised by the result.

NBPK402 Posted June 16, 2018 Share Posted June 16, 2018 Why don't you just get some speakers, and mount them to the ceiling?Sent from my SM-T550 using Tapatalk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
